Refueling outages last on average for about 2 months every 18-24 months, so it's never been "constantly" really.

  And it's still the most reliable power generation method by far.

    Well, might be. The question is though if it's worth a price orders of magnitude higher than competing energy sources. And most countries on this planet seem to have come to the conclusion that it is actually not worth the price. Now I am actually not particularly for or against nuclear power - just making the argument that it's not an economic source of energy anymore.

      If it's not economically viable, then there's no need to regulate against it, as no one would build it. However we see many governments blocking nuclear and even shutting down current plants. Why is that?
